Curiosity's 14 drill holes and counting on Mars.

This article was too juicy of a headline to not link. I 0% vouch for anything in it, but take full credit if its ultimately true. Washington Post Implication of sabotage adds intrigue to SpaceX investigation

The chemical composition and the density of the comet are wild though. Its 70-75% porous, it would float in water, it does not have a dense hard heavy core. There are a lot of organics, they have particle measurements of its cloud. There is a lot of crazy cool science coming out of this...

Rosetta's last image Which they speculate from only 20m due to some sciencing. Ukkeric's image is from 1.2km, the second to last photo. From 16km. This is a pretty great summary of the mission in cartoon images.

Rosetta about to smash into a comet.

So this game can be downloaded on steam for free, I'm gonna at least check it out certainly. Quake runs deep in my blood. TOXIKK™ on Steam

Gaia, The ESA Milky Way mapping mission is having its first big data release today. The press conference is now, but hopefully they will post some amazing visualizations of the data they have collected. ESA Science & Technology: Gaia's first sky map The patchiness and streakiness in...

So pretty cool that this appears to be a stupidly cheap and relatively easy way to get some nice usable high quality graphene. All you have to do is zap it. Rutgers engineers use microwaves to produce high-quality graphene | (e) Science News

Jupiter Down Under The full southern pole. Pretty neat.

From the Nasa release on Jupiter linked above. Mostly because its always nice to have an expert geeking out for context, these quotes are also relevant to the videos above for what they are measuring. I can't wait to see what's next. 1.5 days to download 6 megabytes of data was also...

Just explosion+sound synced.

You need to catch a Monarch Caterpillar next year and feed it the milk weed. Easily one of the most legit insect experiences in this life. Its pretty fuckin magic to watch the Monarch grow (all phases).

This article is from the palereddot.org, which is the planet hunting operation that discovered the existence of proxima b. It breaks down what possibilities for proxima b we can currently imagine given current knowledge. Its clearly a bit on the optimistic side, but that doesn't detract...

The first full instrument flyby happened and was successful, no images so far except this one leading into the approach. NASA's Juno Successfully Completes Jupiter Flyby

To play with friends, people just have to be ok with the MMR difference. If the difference is a problem people can express that, or just opt out. If its not fun for someone they shouldn't join, be they 4k or 1k.

So, people mentioned playing together, but Dota is like the worst game to casually plan to 5 stack. Games are long, people shouldn't be sitting at their pc not queueing maybe waiting for a 4th/5th. The old guild was nicer than the chat channels for organization. In the spirit of people...

So, I'm fortunate to have had access to the dark sky since I was a child. While your natural eyes do not see near the density of stars that the timelapse provides, there is an indescribable amount that appear in a dark sky area when the Moon is new. Additionally, the brightness of the...

The cool thing about this planet though, is clearly we have almost no better candidate to try and study/send a probe to and depending on what we find the first kind of colony ship. Its massively far, but anything else is just massively farther. Additionally if planets around red dwarfs are...

I've played thousands of games solo, some of them are good, some of them are not good. I have the same experience when I stack. If you don't want to play with 3 stacks, then fucking play ranked. As a Solo you cannot be put with a 3 stack in ranked, it will never fucking happen, not once...

SpaceX puts historic flown rocket on permanent display – Spaceflight Now SpaceX decided to put the first landed booster on display outside their office in LA. Lots of photos in the article to add more perspective to the size.

They just need to get some franchise defining games on all the market places (PC/Xbox/Sony) while making the best handheld in the market. A dream we will never realize, but I think it might be the most profitable option they could implement. They could even do self exclusivity, like...

Dota unranked modes are the only place a 4-1 game can occur. 4 Players cannot queue for ranked together, additionally unranked is the only place that people of greater than 2000 mmr difference can party queue. With unranked modes being loose on the mmr difference allowed, allowing 4-1 is...

I'm out of town till next week, but add me too for 2's or 3's. Reth on steam, with a Battletech mech for an icon. I'm around Senaiel's skill more or less also.

Was a well done event, the food trucks are very good food, definitely prioritize them. The weather the last two years has been sunny sunny sunny during TI for the most part. It has to rain one year. The post finals production was much better, I thought the fans and the champions got a...

I'm just glad you got to Seattle for that game Cyrus, I bet you hardly remember the delta mess tonight. Game was immense live. It just reminds me why I find dota a remarkable game. The fact that at the highest level all the way down to the basement tier, mega creep come backs are real for...

Rocket League Rumble in September The complete power-up list includes: The Boot (Kicks an opponent’s car) Disruptor (Forces your opponent to drive uncontrollably) Freezer (Freezes the ball in-place) Grappling Hook (Pulls you towards the ball) Haymaker (Punches the ball) Magnetizer (Attracts...

Talking about being awesome at rocket league, RLCS lan finals are still a small event by esports standards, but they are live on the twitch tv at.

The issue is that kind of prize pool distribution guarantees that dota 2 the career will not mature. Look at Tennis for a prize distribution that is worth the top 80 players in the world. You should get far more than 20k out of 20+ million for being #60-80th best players on the planet. Its...

You've certainly offered an amazing counter argument, I concede.

My position is not to squelch expression of any position, you're creating that reality. If anyone believes that blacks are inferior to whites make your arguments, but you probably don't need to write the word American Inventor 17 times per post/page to convince someone else. Banning a word only bans...

Its not about being triggered, its about pointless words that add nothing to the substance of the discussion because the actual working definition of the word is useless. I've stuck around this community for the knowledge that its collective participants contain. Its a crappy place if we...

So, here's my thing. The best conversations on this forum can be really useful and very high level from many perspectives. I'm just tired of reading the same fucking subset of 5-10 words 40 times a page in some threads. Threads that turn into that kind of shitfest just don't interest me...

Is there any interest to get active forum name/steam name combinations of people who regularly play dota 2? Since I own the first post ee could edit in a list easily, If people give zero fucks that's fine too. With the guild system gone from the game there isn't a nice way to know who the...

I'm not a huge fan of some of the tone of our most aggressive shitposters, and it would suck if a forum change makes the membership even more homogeneous at rererolled.org. I would rather not move because of the volume of data here, but I'm not into having our forum be owned by someone not...

We need the oldy but goody color scheme badly.

So a friend of mine kickstarted this game,  and he randomly gave me a key.   I downloaded it,  started it and got stupidly addicted for about 18 hours before I found out I was in early access with only act 1.    I never play early access.    In less than a month it should launch,  and act 2 and...

www.dota2.com Anyone tried out the Vive Spectator mode?  I have one friend who said he'll watch this way if he's alone lol.

I'm pretty sure we want to move, because no publicly active figures on the forum has access to the server at all. But what a bummer.
